I need help, I don't know where to send this information. I bid for items on eBay in Germany. The seller only bank transfer is possible. It is very inconvenient for my bank to transfer money to Germany. I hope someone can help me transfer money in Germany. I can pay you in advance through PAYPAL (add Paypal handling fee and transfer handling fee) .
The transfer amount is 137 euros
Thank you very much.

I'm sure you're aware, but just in case, keep in mind that recovering money in the event of a scam is significantly harder through bank transfer, compared to PayPal.

Thats right.

But if the seller do not have PayPal there is no other way than to send money by bank transfer.

with Transferwise.com you can pay with your credit card to a bank account all around the world, lots of currency are available, better fees than Paypal and last a better change than Paypal (es. $ to Euro)

I don't know more expensive option to handle payments/exchange currencies Today than by PayPal. I think it is time to check in Transferwise.

I have used Transferwise several times for paying people.

The rates to India are VERY good (where I have some programmers that I use)

Its simple and fast

Good point and good question.

After we (WFS2005 and me) checked that there are nearly 10€ of fees we decidet to use Chip-Pay to transfer the money if there is a second thing like that.

I'd do bank transfers with xe.com (best rates), Transferwise or Paysend a lot more often with known collectors if offered that option. Sadly, US banks charge $25 for receiving international payments, so to pay US sellers, Paypal is still cheapest. Not sure about other destinations. For EU and UK payments, bank transfer is certainly cheapest.

Transferwise works with transfer in the same state, es. a my payment from Italy (euro) to an US bank ($) account figure like a US ($) to US ($) transfer not like an international transfer

CPUShack told me that even using services that do domestic transfers, his bank charges $25. Only reason I still use Paypal with him.

No. I probably wasn't clear, I meant to receive international transfers is free. US seems to charge for domestic transfers, from what John said a few years ago.
